OHICAGOS BUCKET SHOP WAR.
ANARCHISTS - CIVIL SERVICE-ELECTRIC
LIGHT-THEATRICAL
IBY TELEGRAPH To Tuy

CHICAGO Sept 3.-The war which the Chicago Board
Of Trade has been wagng against bucket shops has
resulted In victory at last, and the bucket shops
have this week been cut off from the Boards quota
lions. In addition to the bucket shops the Board
has had all the telegraph companies arrayed against
1t. When the present campaign was opened there
were about 000O bucket shops throughout the coun-
Try. The first dlHclty that these 5000 concerns
paid the telegraph companies enormous revenues for
private wires and general service. Tho telegraph
people finally realized, however. that they would
have to stop serving them remove their wires from
the Board Of Trade. Most Of tho bucket shops In the
West are still open, but so embarr ssed that they are
simply trying to hold together In hopes that the efforts
against them will be relaxed. AS an Illustration Of
the dimensions Of the system Of even small bucket
shops, the case OF one person may be mentioned,
who stu sends out messages the ordinary wires.
He sends quotations to chain of smaller bucket shops
and pays telegraph bills amounting to 500 day
and employs small army Of boys and men to steal
the quotations for him in whatever way they can.
The efforts Of tho Board Of Trade have thus far been
confined to the concerns In the West, but attention
will next be turned to those in New-York which are
still receiving and sending out the Chicago quotations
The announcement mado by the press this week
that the supreme Court Of the State had refused 10
grant the condemned Anarchists a new trial seems
to be generally accepted fact, but 1t is difficult
t. say what foundation tho announcement is based
ahe judges have dropped no hint as to what their do
sison will DO. 1t is also by no means sure that the
opinion win be made public when the Supreme Court
pees at Ottawa next Tuesday, as generally supposed
Il will not be made public then II tho usual custom
b followed The rule is to hand down the opinion
OF the end Of the session. which In this case will last
for several weeks. II any change L. made In the
regular programme 1t can only be after the judges
have met and decided such a course. The sheriff
and the police have made elaborate preparations to
prevent any Of the sympathi1ers Of Spies and the
others from carrying out their threats Of vengeance
which have been made In case of adverse opinion.
